Late last week, a hare arrived.
He looks quite snug, doesn't he? Many times people find baby hares in the wild and try to rescue them. This is usually a bad idea; often these little creatures can't take the stress of being handled and moved around, and don't survive. Even at the AWI we have had bad luck with baby hares this year.
Meanwhile our mallard ducklings have made remarkable progress.
Below is a picture taken on July 24th, less than a month ago, back when these two ducks were just fuzzy little ducklings.
